Changes in v4 (thanks to Wolfgang!):
* Also handle abstract socket path.
* Only resend upon EINTR, otherwise the datagram should be sent in one
  go.
* Drop unnecessary flush.
* Drop $unset_environment argument.
* Rename to just PVE::Systemd::notify() to make it clear that it's not
  the exact same as sd_notify().
* Use POD for documentation.
* Return early if there is no socket path.
* Die if there is no message.
* Check that socket path starts with '/' or '@'.

Changes in v3 (thanks to Thomas!):
* Expand commit message for sd_notify() helper.
* Use $socket->{send,shutdown) methods.
* Print $IO::Socket::errstr in case of error.
* Unset NOTIFY_SOCKET environment variable only after sending the
  message.

Changes in v2:
* Dropped already applied patches.
* Introduce sd_notify() helper.
* Different approach, make the service type=notify instead of waiting
  in a sleep+check-loop until the object shows up via QMP 'qom-list'.

As reported in the community forum [0], it might happen that the
dbus-vmstate object is not added (quickly enough) to the target QEMU
instance, before the migration state is loaded. This would result in
a crash of the target instance.

Add a pure Perl reimplementation of systemd's sd_notify() mechanism as
defined in systemd/sd-daemon.h based on the example implementations in
'man 3 sd_notify'.

The initial user of this helper is intended to be the pve-dbus-vmstate
service, so it can notify startup completion only once the
dbus-vmstate QEMU object is ready to be used.

EAGAIN is not checked for, because it does not occur for blocking
Unix domain sockets, see 'man 2 send'. The socket is a datagram
socket and a single datagram will be sent. If not all data can be
written, error out like the example code in 'man 3 sd_notify'.

As reported in the community forum [0], it might happen that the
dbus-vmstate object is not added (quickly enough) to the target QEMU
instance, before the migration state is loaded. This would result in
a crash of the target instance:

> kvm: Unknown savevm section or instance 'dbus-vmstate/dbus-vmstate'
> 0. Make sure that your current VM setup matches your saved VM setup,
> including any hotplugged devices
> kvm: load of migration failed: Invalid argument

This is after the configuration is already moved and thus there also
is no source instance running anymore.

Change the type of the 'pve-dbus-vmstate@' service to 'notify', so
that starting the service returns success only after the
'dbus-vmstate' object has been added to the QEMU instance.
